Small aerial robots are limited to short mission times because aerodynamic and energy
conversion efficiency diminish with scale. One way to extend mission times is to perch, as …

Micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) face limited flight times, which adversely impacts their efficacy
for scenarios such as first response and disaster recovery, where it might be useful to deploy …

Application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (aka drones) is becoming more popular and their
safety is becoming a serious concern. Due to high cost of top‐end drones and requirements …

The instantaneous center of rotation (ICOR) is essential engineering information, providing
wheel slip data for fully autonomous skid-steering mobile robots driven by deep learning …

Perching on a vertical surface carries the risk of severe damage to the vehicle if the
maneuver fails, especially if failure goes undetected. We present a detection method using …

Abstract Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) have seen a dramatic growth in the consumer market
because of their ability to provide new vantage points for aerial photography and …

Under the superlow-altitude aerial image, human lying-pose detection is an important
problem in object detection. This paper is mainly focused on the application study of an …

This research paper addresses the designing of high speed free fall detection and primary
trigger generation problem as a part of an in-flight emergency technology developments for …

In this study, we developed a framework to localize human lying poses by a camera
positioned above. Our framework is motivated by the fact that detecting lying poses is …

There has been much research on how to get unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perch on
many different types of surfaces and objects, including flat surfaces, ramps, tree branches …
